Hillary Clinton

The Associated Press interviewed "leading Democrats" in West Virginia and other states to assess the potential downside to Hillary Clinton winning the presidential nomination.

From the AP story:

"I'm one of these Democrats who has some legitimate reservations, because the Clintons have in the past invigorated the Republican base," said Carrie Webster, a leader in the West Virginia House of Delegates who served as executive director of the state party when Bill Clinton won the 1992 West Virginia primary.

"But the fact that so many prominent Democratic males are getting behind her at this early point makes me a little more confident that she could overcome some of the more obvious hurdles," she said.
